INSIGHT ON ANGPTL3 IMPACT ON HEPATIC METABOLISM AND FUNCTION
… of VLDLs. Its deficiency leads to higher lipases activation, resulting into hypolipidemia and protection from cardiometabolic risk. While the role of circulating ANGPTL3 on lipases has been well established, its effect on hepatic homeostasis and metabolism is still unclear. This work aims …

Various factors that affect hydrolytic rancidity in rice bran
… is prone to hydrolytic rancidity due to active lipases. To assess the loss of quality, free fatty acids (FFA) in raw bran were measured over 48 hour period. Cultivar, farming technique, harvest year, milling conditions and degree of milling (DOM) were the factors examined for their effects on …

Substrate specificity and properties of heat-stable proteases from Pseudomonas fluorescens
Extracellular proteases and lipases from strains P26, 32A, Pl, and P27 of Pseudomonas fluorescens were produced using a dialysis membrane method. The proteases were partially purified by molecular exclusion chromatography (MWC0=60,000) and selected biochemical characteristics were determined. …

Diacylglycerol lipaseα-dependent endocannabinoid signaling in neural stem cells
The diacylglycerol lipases (DAGL α and β) synthesise 2-AG, the major endocannabinoid (eCB) in the developing and adult brain. 2-AG acts most prominently on the CB1 and CB2 receptors and growing evidence points to a role of eCB signaling in adult neurogenesis as well as a wide range of different …

Conversion of triacylglycerols into monoacylglycerols by penicillium roquefortii
… It suggested that P. roquefortii produced two lipases, one during germination with specificity to the sn-2 position in the original triacylglycerols (TAGs) and one L3-specific during growth of the fungal mycelium. In addition, flavour compounds, methyl ketones and y-lactones, were found in …
